NYCHA is committed to keeping its developments – your homes – clean. But we need your help to do so. By making sure you dispose of trash properly, you can help keep developments cleaner and safer, and keep vermin away.
Household trash must be placed in the compactor chutes located in the hallway of each floor in NYCHA’s buildings. Large items such as mattresses, furniture and other bulky materials must be placed in the designated trash collection areas of a development. If you are not sure where to dispose of such items, please contact your Management Office. Trash never should be left in the hallway, stairway, lobby, elevator or outside on the sidewalk.
Please help us by disposing of trash properly.
